Star Wars- A Tribute to John Williams (Variety Show Performance)

**UPDATE** We have 10,000 views! Thanks everyone!

*UPDATE* Our video is now featured on Moosebutter's website. You can see it there at http://www.moosebutter.com/lyrics.php/3#videopane_3

Okay, here it is...a video of our performance of "Star Wars-John Williams is the Man" at Borah's 2009 Variety Show. This is a song by the a cappella group Moosebutter whose lyrics are taken from the original Star Wars Trilogy and whose music is a medley of many of John Williams' famous theme songs. How's that for confusing?

These are (In order):
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Indiana Jones
Superman
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Jaws
Jurassic Park

To think, that this whole performance came from the inspiration of Corey Vidal's YouTube video that I just happened to come across one day.

Oh yeah, John Williams is the MAN!!!

Here are the Lyrics:

[Close Encounters of the Droid Kind]
You must use the force (repeat ad nauseum)

[Raiders of the Lost Wookiee]
Long time ago, far far away (repeat)

Kiss a wookie, kick a droid
Fly the falcon through an asteroid
Till the princess is annoyed
This is spaceships, it's monsters, it's Star Wars, we love it!

Come and help me, Obi-Wan
X-wing fighter and a blaster gun
Dance with Ewoks, oh what fun!
This is spaceships, it's monsters, it's Star Wars, we love it!

[Super Han]
Get in there you big, furry oaf
I couldn't care less what you smell
I take orders from only me
Maybe you'd like it back in your cell
Your Highness, your worshipfulness, your highness, your worshipfulness

No one cares if you upset a droid
(nobody cares if you upset a droid)
That's because droids don't tear your arms out of socket.
(nobody cares)
I suggest a new strategy: let the Wookie win
That's because nobody cares if you upset a droid.

[ET the DiscoTerrestrial]
Now we listen to Luke whining:
One more season... One more season... One more season... One more season...

I was gonna go to Tosche Station for power converters
Now I guess I'm going nowhere.
It just isn't fair.

[Jaws: the Wookiee]
Woooooookiee (repeat)

Someone move this walking carpet (repeat)

Kiss your brother, Kiss your brother (repeat)

Princess Leia
Well I guess you don't know anything about women.

Who's your daddy? (repeat)

[Jurassic Darth]
Luke, I'm your father
(That's not true!)
It is useless to resist
(My hand!)
Come with me my son, We will rule
(I'll never join you!)
Search your feelings it is true

So you have a twin sister
Who Obi-Wan was wise to hide
(Is that Leia?)
If you will not turn
Then perhaps she will
Give in to your hate
You are mine

Long Long Long Time ago... Far Far Far Far Away

Long Long Long Time Ago, Far Far Far Away (repeat)

Kiss a wookie
Kick a droid
Fly the falcon
Through an asteroid
Till the princess is annoyed
(She's annoyed!)
This is spaceships, it's monsters, it's Star Wars, we love it, it's true

Episode 7.
Coming to you...
Never! Wait what? (Confusion and arguing)

So Let's go
(go go go to the movies)
Stand in line
(buy buy buy me some popcorn)
Cause it's al-
(please I'd like extra butter)
most the time
(Join the dark side...)
May the Force be with you

(Our own rewritten ending)
ALL!!!!

John Williams is the man

xD You guys did a great job with this! You really look like you had fun with it, too, which makes it even better. I gotta say, it's some of the little things you added that had me laughing hysterically. (Now my sister thinks I'm wierd xD)

[TheNerdyNerd101]

Thanks! We added in a few little things just to make it our own. (We rewrote the ending for example as well as added in a couple harmonies).

[TheNerdyNerd101]

Thank you everyone for your comments. We are just a bunch of highschool choir students who found this amazing song and decided to perform it. We had no idea people would love it this much. Thanks for your support!
